Fandom Titanfall: IMC Rising

[Scrin]

The timer finally clicked zero and swapped to a large red button that simply read "Titanfall". Hearing a noise behind her, Alana looked up to see a small squad of spectres moving toward her. Seeing the perfect opportunity, Alana pointed her forearm-mounted command interface at the spectres and hit the Titanfall button. Within a second or so, Ryoko warped in and slammed into the ground, crushing the spectres beneath her. Alana sprinted over and hopped into the cockpit, closing the doors as she entered. "Welcome back, Ma'am." Ryoko's cold and soothing voice stated as Alana took control. "Hell, yea, baby! It's good to BE back!" Alana shouted as she reared the titan back and let out her battlecry across the combat-zone. "Baby?" Ryoko replied with a somewhat inquisitive tone. "Are you referring to a child of some kind, Ma'am?" Alana smashed through a wall with her massive fist, destroying the cover behind which several grunts hid, before launching her rockets inside. "Well, from a certain perpective, one might say you are my child, since I created you, and all that jazz." Ryoko's processors whirred as they analyzed this statement. "While said perspective could only be described as wildly inaccurate, I appreciate the sentiment behind it. Unfortunately, we lack the time for such conversation. We have a battle to win, do we not, Mother?" Alana couldn't help but smile at Ryoko's response. The AI had always been a little quirky, but it only endeared Alana to her titan all the more. Catching a grunt's titanhammer rocket with her vortex shield, she hurled it into an approaching spectre squad. "That we do, my child, and it's a battle we won't lose! LET'S DO THIS!!!"

Kenneth had bullets flying at him from every direction, he decided it best to get more cover and as he did so he noticed Alana. He watched as she called her Titan and couldn't help saying" HOLY SHIT!" As he witnessed the mass of debree flying in all directions as the massive Titan appeared where spectres once stood. " God, if your there, please let me be a badass like that when I Gen up.... oh and don't let me be on her bad side either...... please...." Kenneth prayed to himself as he spotted several more grunts trying to flank the team and fired upon them.

Connor was moving alongside multiple fire-teams avoiding the use of his jump jets as he rounded one of the old pumping systems he watched as a massive Titan slammed into the ground and crushed a squad of Specters and a pilot climb in, "That's my queue boys." he told the team he was moving with and ran at the Titan using a burst of Stim to avoid being caught on the Titans optical sensors. "Well if that isn't familiar I don't know what is." he said as he recognized the Titan as the one he had fought in the city. Connor noticed his Titan was prepared for Titanfall on his HUD and he let a wicked smile shine on his face as he jumped into the air and climbed onto the back of the Titan. "Let's not risk it this time alright?" he asked himself as he braced himself against the enemy Titans frame.

 

[Scrin]

Alana heard the distinct clank of pilot boots on her back, and a cursory glance at her minimap showed that Kenneth and Vlad were not on top of her, so Alana did the first thing that came to her mind. She boosted the Neo straight backwards, slamming its back into the building behind her, then immediately boosted forwards, spinning on her titan's heels with a huge grin on her face to see just who the hell had signed their own death warrant by trying to rodeo her today...

 

[Ja50n]

Connor was slightly caught off guard when the Titan dashed backwards and just barely managed to launch himself up into the air to avoid being crushed when the Titan turned he was able to land and jump back onto it from the front this time. Connor climbed past the optcs and swing himself onto the top of the Titan where he regained his original position on the Titan and ripped off the panel covering the core and fired a few rounds into it. "Come on friend let's play a little more." he said through a smile

 

[Scrin]

The IMC pilot crawled past Alana's optics, and she recognized him immediately: the S.O.B. that she fought on the last mission. Grabbing her EVA-8, she gave control back to Ryoko. "Ryoko, eject me, then do whatever you can to minimize damage." "As you wish, Mother." As Alana flew through the air, she pulled her RE-45 and rained gunfire down on the enemy pilot, and as she fell closer and closer, she holstered her pistol and pulled her EVA-8. Stopping her descent at the last second using her jumpjets, she landed on the Neo's head alongside the pilot and started blasting with her shotgun. "Good to see you again, punk! What, didn't get enough last time?"

 

[Ja13n]

Vlad watched the Neo-titan warp in and crushed a group of specters. 'Wait, there were only supposed to be grunts here.' Pulling out his mission briefing he reread it. 'That's rather strange, this is the second time something has happened that shouldn't have.....' Realizing his titan was ready he looked over to a spot and called it down. he looked up a little and watched the warpfall, then jumped into it's open cockpit, hearing the servos start moving put a smile on his face, 'I'll just have to try figuring out who is relaying bad information later.' Turning around he moved his titan to a distant spot and started taking down grunts from a distance for a moment till he noticed that Alana had just ejected from her titan. Shaking his head he went back to sniping the grunts 'She is either doing something ridiculous, or awesome, or both, I'll leave that to her.' Looking though his titan's monitor he saw a group of grunts get ready to launch warheads at him, moving his titan's arm into position for a vortex shield he waited for the missiles, activated his electrical smoke, then quickly dashing out of the way. When he moved his arm back down he heard something pop on it, quickly moving behind cover he hoped out to try and figure out what happened. "I'll be out of the fight for a minute, something just happened to my titan's arm."

 

[Ja50n]

Connor was lucky enough to avoid all the pistol shots that had rained down on him but when his enemy had landed he took a load of buckshot into his armor, "You thought I had enough I never have enough when it's coming to giving terrorists a bad time!" he yelled as he called in his Titan where they were and jumped off her Titan, "But hey don't say I'm not a good second date here's a little gift!" he said as he waited for his Titan.

 

[Scrin]

Alana saw the enemy call for his titan, and looks up to see the titan flying towards her and Ryoko. "Ryoko, emergency evasion!" Ryoko threw herself backwards so quickly, Alana's magnatized boots disconnected from the Neo, throwing her through the window of a building, which shook to the very foundation when the enemy's titan hit the ground. Clawing her way back to her feet, she jumped back through the broken window. Ryoko was laying on her back, and seeing Alana coming, opened the cockpit. Jumping into the cockpit, it closed up and Alana rolled the Neo over and got to her feet, turning around to face the Atlas she faced on the last mission.

 

[Ja50n]

"Well that was unexpected..." Connor said as Atlas grabbed him and put him into the cockpit. He stood the Titan up and a canister slammed into the ground next to it, Connor punched into it and ripped out his 40mm Cannon as he fired a salvo at the enemy Titan as he dashed backwards unloading his entire clip. "Give up and die you terrorist!" he yelled as he dashed around to reload his weapon. His eye's kept looking around the HUD of the Titan as he spotted another Pilot unloading a Spitfire, he smiled and opened the cockpit of his Atlas launching all the grenades he had save one at him and closed the cockpit before anyone could do anything as he readied his Titan for it's second encounter with the female Pilot.

 

[Scrin]

Alana took the brunt of the enemy's fire on her, losing a little bit of armor in the process, but when the smoke cleared, she saw her foe's atlas turn it's attention to Kenneth, who was too enamored with shooting at grunts to see the titan coming. "Rookie! Watch out!" She dashes towards him in the Neo as the enemy pilot opened his titan and hurled a buttload of grenades at Kenneth. Sprinting right over Kenneth's head, she slammed her Neo down on its knees and used it to block the explosions from hitting Kenneth. With this loss of even more armor, the Neo was sitting precariously on the edge of being destroyed. Looking through the charred optics to see a blurry image of her rival, Ryoko chimmed in. "We are heavily damaged, Mother. Recommend immediate withdrawal from combat." "Like hell! This prick is going down!" Despite having a vague and crappy view out her burned optics, Alana threw the Neo forward and started swinging her fists wildly, hoping that in such a confined area, she would nail him at least once.

 

[Ja13n]

Vlad got out, turned his coms off and looked at the titan's arm, one of the servos on the arm was locked. 'Well, that shouldn't have happened, maybe it just got lodged in the warpfall.' climbing onto the arm he kicked the servos a bit and heard a piece of metal hit the ground, and felt the arm move again, as he went to get into the cockpit, he heard another titan fall. Sighing he pulled out three satchel charges and he placed them onto his titan's back. His titan stood up and turned to him in the classic auto titan way, and bent down opening it's cockpit. It stood there waiting for him to get into it "I have a feeling you know your not going to survive this fight..." The styder swayed slightly, it's A.I unable to communicate in any other way "don't worry, you're going to go out... In a Blaze of fire and metal." Turning around it grabbed him and released control to him. Walking out into the open he turned his coms back on, and found all the grunts in his area missing. 'What is going on?'

 

[Ja50n]

Connor dashed to the side and avoided the swinging Titans fists, Connor smiled and dashed behind the Titan and slammed a fist through the back armor and into the cockpit he grabbed his enemy pilot and flipped her catching her in his hand and pulling her close to his Titans optics then lowered her. He turned and hefted his 40 mm with one hand and unloaded it at the location of the other Pilot from earlier as he walked backwards away from the area. "HVT secured falling back from target area this place is ours." he said as he turned and walked to a secluded area.

 

[Scrin]

Alana never even saw the attack that yanked her from the cockpit coming due to how damaged her optics were, so it caught her completely by surprise, and being ripped out of the cockpit from behind damaged her helmet, shutting down her comms. She found herself face to face with the enemy titan, but when she finally realized what had happened, she twisted herself just enough to see Ryoko laying on her back, her core heavily damaged by the hole in her back. Ryoko rolled over slowly onto her front, then began clawing her way forward, like she was attempting to save Alana from the enemy Atlas, despite the fatal wound she had received. At one point, Ryoko extended her arm towards Alana, fingers held open wide, as if her pilot was just out of reach, and as if Ryoko could grab her if only she could stretch out her arm far enough. However, with a critically damaged core, Ryoko was hemorrhaging power, and there was simply nothing to be done about it: Ryoko was doomed. Alana pounded her fists against the her captor's grip, futilely trying to escape. Alana stretched her arm out towards Ryoko when the titan did the same. In a way, it was rather ironic, the two of them both mutually attempting to rescue the other, completely in vain. When a squad of spectres moved towards the titan, Alana began screaming frantically. "GET AWAY FROM HER, YOU BASTARDS!!! LEAVE HER ALONE!!!" The spectres climbed up onto Ryoko's back, as the dying titan weakly tried to knock them away. One of them pulled an Archer rocket launcher and fired it into the breach in Ryoko's back, finishing her off completely. "I'll kill you all! You IMC monsters!!!" Alana turned back to her captor, punching the titan's torso with renewed vigor, not stopping until her arms were numb with pain as tears streamed down her face, and she sobbed silently, before finally blacking out from her damage she inflicted on her own arms by repeatedly punching titan armor.

 

[Ja13n]

Vlad heard complete silence on the coms, which was weird because he could normally hear Alana yelling about something, so he looked to where he last saw her. Her Neo-atlas was reaching for something while on it's last legs of life, charging up his railgun he shot one bullet into the retreating Atlas, taking off it's right arm, sadly, that was the arm holding the 40mm, not Alana "You fucking bastard, don't you walk away from me!" As Vlad went to give chase his styder's core shut down. "This is NOT happening...." the titan's monitor went black as it lost all power. 'This isn't over..' Vlad pulled out his detonator and blew the three satchels from earlier, blowing the whole back of his titan apart, turning around he crawled out of the hole he made. As he got out he saw grunts surround him, "Surrender now, you've been captured Mr. Yolkov, You're now in IMC hands and will be treated fairly as long as you cooperate with us." Vlad couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Oh noooo, the IMC has captured me......" he stopped and looked straight at the grunt in charge "If you know anything about me, you would know that I'm labeled a terrorist, a sniper, and a shock trooper." Vlad acted like he was going to scratch his back, but actually dropped a satchel into the cockpit of the downed titan,"And you guys think you have me caught?" and then grabbed two more of this remaining 7 satchels throwing them in front of himself and detonating them as soon as they were out of range to hit him, jumping off the dead titan he blew it up for some cover before pulling out his RE-45 and gunning down all but one of the grunts, instead throwing his RE into his face knocking him down. Calmly walking over to him he slammed his foot on the man's shoulder and pulled out his G2A4 and pointing it at the man's head "Now tell me, who the hell is the rat." "I don't know..... I'm just trying to survive and support my family..." "Well, you just took a member of mine." Pulling the trigger Vlad remembered his coms were on he snapped back into action "Alright Rookie get in gear. We need an evac right now, and Please tell me you didn't get captured too." He walked to the remains of what was his styder from years ago "I'll miss you buddy" Grabbing a small safe that thankfully survived he quickly popped it open and took the data for his A.I that had been with him since back when he first became a pilot. "At least until I put you into a new body."

 

[SadisticHunter]

Everything happened so fast Kenneth was in shock. He had been saved by Alana, a pilot who he very much admired, and watched as she was captured. Kenneth was angry he had zoned out at the worst possible moment and he now had punishment for doing just that. " I'm sorry Vlad, I've got Alana you watch my back" Kenneth stated as he began rapidly making his way torwards the Atlas that took Alana. " Fucking seriously everyone gets a God damn Titan in the first 5 minutes of battle but me, seriously how does it take longer for me to get a....." Kenneth thought to himself as he was running and was interrupted by his HUD saying titanfall. " are.... you......Fucking..... KIDDING ME!!!" Kenneth yelled as this happened. " whatever, let's make use of my late Titan and drop it in front of that retreating Atlas" said Kenneth as he called the titanfall.

 

[Ja13n]

Vlad sighed again "Kenneth, I understand what you want to do, but he has Alana in his hand, if you do anything that makes him need a free hand he might crush her then move onto you, If he can take down the Neo that fast, then you have low chances of winning even if he's one armed, besides when your titan gets here bring it to me, I need to look at it." 'Five minutes to make an ogre? Is someone literally sabotaging us from the inside?' Vlad pulled out two satchels and waited for Kenneth to arrive.

 

[Scrin]

*Alana is still unconscious*

 

[Ja50n]

Connor had managed to get out of the combat zone as reinforcements had arrived. Once he had reached a secluded area away from both sides he opened hi cockpit and leaned towards the enemy pilot and poured his entire flask on her head. "Wake up sleeping beauty, I have something that belongs to you." he said in a mocking tone as the last drop fell and he leaned back ready for whatever hell was coming his way as he pulled a container of his rationed alcohol and refilled his flask. He then looked at his Atlas's missing arm assessing the damage before remembering he didn't have to any more he was on the side with a near endless supply of them. With that thought he turned his attention back to her and waited for her to respond to his actions.

 

[Scrin]

Alana awoke, but barely. She tried to wipe the whiskey from her face, but her arms refused to respond. She managed to look up at the enemy pilot, and..... Laughed. It started as a chuckle, but before long her sides were bursting from the fit of laughter she was caught in. Alana summoned what little spark of defiance she had left and managed to get a few words out. "You... My IMC pilot, buddy." She chuckled a little more. "You're a dead man... I'll be free of this titan's grip eventually, and when I am finally free... You will pay for what you did to my daughter, you worthless dog."

 

[Ja50n]

Connor smiled at the threat and removed his helmet leaning out the cockpit, "I didn't kill no daughters unless they were IMC scum back in the day if I cost you your child then I am sorry for your loss but it doesn't mean you go become a terrorist and ruin what I fought for now does it?" he said with a face like stone and a bit of venom in his words. "Now you left something behind when you knocked me out at the bar and I figured you would want it back." he said as he wound up a punch and slammed it into her face hoping it would render her unconscious. He sighed and leaned back into his seat as his breathing got a bit shallower and thoughts rushed back to his head he shook his head and took a swig of whiskey from the flask, "Damn it why'd she have to remind me of them..." he said as a dropship appeared above him.

 

[Scrin]

Alana went limp for a second or two after then punch before the smile crept back onto her face. Her physical body sustained damage from the punch, that much was obvious, but Alana felt no pain. The numbness she felt after Ryoko's destruction was so vast, it enveloped Alana like a second skin made of pure sorrow. Nothing that happened to her could inflict any more hurt than what she was already feeling. Unable to muster the strength to pick up her head once more, or even to speak, Alana simply glared at Connor, who it turned out had been the enemy pilot the whole time. She stared holes through him, hurling her hatred and rage at him, as if her thoughts could somehow cause Connor harm.

 

[SadisticHunter]

"FUCK!" Kenneth yelled as Alana was brought past enemy lines. "Alright Vlad,.... what do I need to do?" Kenneth said in an agitated tone. Kenneth's Titan fell from the heavans as he said this and Kenneth jumped into the cockpit with the final comment of " what the he'll do I need to FUCK UP!""

 

[Ja50n]

Conner looked into the hateful eyes of his enemy as he shoo'd the dropship away. He leaned out of the Titan again and jumped out walking towards the woman as his Atlas lowered her. "You seem to have a personal vendetta against me, and I get that I really do. But you listen to me the IMC are worthless assholes with an ego the size of the frontier, even if they killed my family they did it because of war. That building even if it didn't kill anyone it risked lives, lives that didn't need to be risked out there. You are fighting on the wrong side even if you don't think you are. I hate the side I'm on I do but... It's not worth finishing but if you were smart you'd think things through, but what do I know I'm just a drunk who drives a walking piece of armor. Sorry about hitting you I kept a bit of anger about the building something I guess I should have let go, but you aren't allowed to be awake for this so I gotta knock you out." he said as he shrugged and downed the last of the whiskey from the bottle not the flask and then slammed it onto her head making sure it would knock her out. "Reminds me of her... he said as he rubbed a locket that was hanging off of his dog tags. The dropship returned when he signalled it and took off into orbit returning them to the dropship. Connor hefted his enemy onto his shoulder and walked her all the way to her cell and locked her in. He pulled up a chair and spun it sitting down leaning against the back of the chair and closed his eyes to wait for his prisoner to wake up.

 

[Scrin]

Alana listened to Connor's longwinded and frankly patronizing diatribe, mostly because her body refused to obey her commands and she couldn't actually respond. As he went on about the building Vlad blew up, Alana managed to mutter, "I was standing RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU in a titan that HAS NO EXPLOSIVE ARMAMENTS except for my rockets, which I very clearly DIDN'T FIRE. I didn't blow that building, you self-righteous prick!" Connor never responded, merely continuing his rant, so Alana guessed he couldn't hear her, then his whacked her in the head with his flask. Before blacking out again, she thought to herself "God, that is getting old REALLY fast..."
